PVIP participants can set up and invest in businesses, real estate and any investments in Malaysia. They can also be employed or study in Malaysia with no restrictions!
Finding viable and true investment opportunities in Malaysia can be cumbersome and tedious for all foreigners in Malaysia. Being fresh to the country when everything is unknown and unfamiliar in a foreign land, it is normal to be fearful to start a business. Certain investments can be very complex with many rules and regulations to comply. Please spend sufficient time doing thorough research on the business of your interest before investing any amount as we believe failure is easy, but success rare!
Many may not be aware that your personal information in your new company set up with the Companies Commission of Malaysia is now linked to the Immigration Department. Therefore, it is vital to maintaining updated records of company and tax compliance to avoid any blacklisting, which can affect your profile in Malaysia. There are steps to follow how to start the right business for foreigners including PVIP participants and maintain your legal status under the PVIP visa.
